Emotional Intelligence Coaching for Executives and Leaders

Emotional intelligence coaching is one-to-one development that helps you understand and manage your own emotions, then read and respond to other people's better. Coaches often start with a psychometric tool such as EQ-i 2.0 to show your strengths and gaps. From there you set goals, work on your triggers and build new habits, and your coach holds you to account.

More executives are now hiring a coach to build their emotional intelligence. The usual pressures haven't gone away: keeping investors and stakeholders happy, delivering value with fewer resources and finding a work-life balance. Remote and hybrid working have added new ones, like leading teams you rarely see in person.

So can emotional intelligence coaching really help busy executives and entrepreneurs who are under pressure?

In short, yes!

But the yes does come with three conditions. Those condition are:-

• Your Emotional Intelligence Coach should be globally certified in Emotional Intelligence, not a 'I've read a few books' fly by night hobbyist.

• Your Emotional Intelligence Coach should be eager to guide you on achieving genuine value from your Executive Coaching programme, not just skills acquisition.

• Your Emotional Intelligence Coach should have your permission to hold you accountable for applying your learning, and s/he should have your permission to hold him or her accountable too.

• Your Emotional Intelligence Coaching programme should be underpinned with a credible Emotional Intelligence psychometric assessment tool, so you can identify imbalances and strengths to focus on developing.

• Your Emotional Intelligence Coach should be focused on helping you to develop greater self-reliance rather than a dependency on his or her ongoing input.
